Abstract

Thin films of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) deposited on cellulose fiber filters (see Figure) are evaluated as particulate filtration media. Even for very low MWNT coverages (∼0.07 mg cm–2), these filters exhibit efficiencies greater than 99 % for airborne fine particles. The pore structure and quality of the nanotube-based filters have also been characterized.
